Sure there are ways. It doesn't really do anything automatic like fit-text-to-block, but if you're passing your text through a program to generate input like I do you can determine how much space that text is going to need. You can either alter the text itself or the size of the text to fit in any given area. It's relatively simple for a fixed width font. With a variable width font you just have to allow for the largest character or go through the text character by character. If you dig deep enough with embedded code it does tell you the size of each character in a font set.

I can see that this would mean reverse-leading(?) after the contents of the page had been established, but it seems a fundamental formatting requirement.
